This is a war against people who are utilizing their constitutional rights.

(SALEM, Ore.) – The protesters on Wall Street will soon have the protection of United States Marines who will form a human wall between the crowds of tireless protesters and the increasingly unpopular New York cops who continue to appear on YouTube in scenes that twist the insides of patriotic Americans.
Michael Hayne, a Comedian and Columnist who has contributed to NY Times Laugh Lines, guest-blogged for Joe Biden, and writes a column for MSNBC.com affiliated Cagle, wasn’t joking when he related the information this weekend on the Website Addicting Info.
The news is welcome, particularly as people continue to learn more about Wall Street and New York City and the nature of the people in the upper echelons. Not only have Americans watched the players on Wall Street shove the nation’s future into their wallets, but there are more specific reasons that the police are behaving in a corrupt manner, they’re being paid off by groups like JPMorgan Chase, which recently donated:
“… an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple.”-JPMorgan Chase
Strengthen security? This is a war against people who are utilizing their constitutional rights.
There are many sayings associated with the United States Marine Corps, and most have something to do with honor and decency and respect for the right things. Sure, many people disapprove of this band of warriors due to the nature of their business, but I personally see it differently, and it would be impossible to do otherwise, as I was once a member of this military group.
At any rate, I like the way Haynes looks at it:
“That’s the type of support that may make an NYPD cop think twice before he decides to go all Tiananmen Square on a group of teenage girls,armed with chalk and cardboard signs (maybe it’s because they are spelled properly?).
“The Occupy Wall Street movement may have thought it broke new ground when the NYC Transit Union joined their movement, but that ground just tipped the Richter Scale with news that United States Army and Marine troops are reportedly on their way to various protest locations to support the movement and to protect the protesters.”
Here’s the message Ward Reilly relayed from another Marine, on his facebook page:
“I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:
I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn.
My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets. I apologize now for typos and errors.
Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we’re there. That’s what we do best.If you see someone in uniform, gather together.
A formation will be held tonight at 10PM.
We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country. That’s what we will be doing.
Hope to see you there!!”
Remember, the Occupy Wall Street protests in other cities are getting underway, Seattle is already active and the Portland, Oregon event starts later this week.

WAIT!!! this could be another ploy to infutrate the protest-be CAREFUL!!! you already got screawed at the bridge-they maybe used to crush your movment-I am a old protester and remember how we tricked-remember BERKLY!!!
Nothing beats Live Wire, and whats downright sceary, for the robberbarons are their incapability to interfeer(AKA:fill it with propaganda and idiot dogmas) with it.
Live dont lie.
And a advise from a person who did it all:
“On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.”
? Martin Luther King Jr.
amen
I’m seeing this a different way.
Marines coming in?
It’s only good news if they’re retired Veterans.
If they’re in active service, I only know that Marines follow orders….from the Pentagon.
Semper Fi! Motherfuckers!
Here’s the bottom line, since they too will be unarmed, it will change nothing.
I hate to be the pescimist, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Those cops took an oath to serve and protect. They tossed that out the window for a $4.6 Million donation from JP Morgan. At present, those 17 year old girls with cardboard signs are far braver than any marine that took an oath to the constitution. Actions speak louder than words typed on a message board. Like I said, I’ll believe it when I see it.
War on US = Treason = wars on terror, drugs, middle class, Middle East, women, unions, smokers, protesters, sick, old, poor, …
Join Repeal & Prosecute Party.
Citizens arrest police, banksters, outsourcers, and government for wars on US = Treason.
I hope and pray you are for real.
I love the Marines, with all heart and soul.
From one jarhead to another, let’s carry the load, one more time.
“The protesters on Wall Street will soon have the protection of United States Marines who will form a human wall between the crowds of tireless protesters and the increasingly unpopular New York cops who continue to appear on YouTube in scenes that twist the insides of patriotic Americans.”
I’ll believe that when I see it. And I still won’t believe it.
Oh, and Dr. Love? What kind of person would love a trained group of assassins, who work to promote the interests of international thieves and murderers, with their heart and soul? Do you have a life or a mind of your own? DO YOU?
